Psalm 112

BLESSED is the man that feareth the LORD; * he hath great delight in his commandments. His seed shall be mighty upon earth; * the generation of the faithful shall be blessed. Riches and plenteousness shall be in his house; * and his righteousness endureth for ever. Unto the godly there ariseth up light in the darkness; * he is merciful, loving, and righteous. A good man is merciful, and lendeth; * and will guide his words with discretion. For he shall never be moved: * and the righteous shall be had in everlasting remembrance. He will not be afraid of any evil tidings; * for his heart standeth fast, and believeth in the LORD. His heart is stablished, and will not shrink, * until he see his desire upon his enemies. He hath dispersed abroad, and given to the poor. * and his righteousness remaineth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour. The ungodly shall see it, and it shall grieve him; * he shall gnash with his teeth, and consume away; the desire of the ungodly shall perish.

Psalm 112

 Praise ye the LORD. Blessed is the man that feareth the LORD,
that delighteth greatly in his commandments.

 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the
upright shall be blessed.

 Wealth and riches shall be in his house: and his righteousness
endureth for ever.

 Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness: he is
gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.

 A good man sheweth favour, and lendeth: he will guide his
affairs with discretion.

 Surely he shall not be moved for ever: the righteous shall be in
everlasting remembrance.

 He shall not be afraid of evil tidings: his heart is fixed,
trusting in the LORD.

 His heart is established, he shall not be afraid, until he see
his desire upon his enemies.

 He hath dispersed, he hath given to the poor; his righteousness
endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted with honour.

 The wicked shall see it, and be grieved; he shall gnash with
his teeth, and melt away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.
